However, to use the semi-long pulsed beam, there was a problem concerning the cathode lifetime of the gun. Thus, a new gun has been developed with a dispenser cathode, Y-796(EIMAC); the characteristics of this gun have been investigated. This new gun has been used since October 1988 and has continued to produce constant current of about 12 A without having to exchange its cathode. Thus, the cathode lifetime has been remarkably improved. INTRODUCTION Positrons had so far been utilized only in the e+-e- colliding experiments of TRISTAN, which began in November 1986. Since 1988, however, it had started to use positrons also in the Photon Factory storage ring. It had been confinned that a positron beam with a width of -40 ns was suitable for the PF ring to reduce the injection time. t ,2,3 However, to use this semi-long pulsed beam, there was a problem regarding the cathode lifetime of the old gun, the cathode of which was an oxide-coated type.4 Therefore, a new gun with a dispenser cathode, Y-796(EIMAC), has been developed to achieve a long lifetime of the cathode and to obtain a larger anode current.

  • High Energy Accelerator Research Organization Research Institute of Japan’S Largest Accelerator Science That Unravels the Mysteries of Universe, Matter and Life
    Inter-University Research Institute Corporation High Energy Accelerator Research Organization Research institute of Japan’s largest accelerator science that unravels the mysteries of universe, matter and life Director General Masanori Yamauchi Particle accelerator has played extremely important roles in progress of our understanding of nature, since its history started in 1930’s. It has provided essential methodology to study nuclei, elementary particles, condensed matter and even life sciences. Also, role of particle accelerators is really outstanding in their industrial and medical applications. There is no doubt that progress of par- ticle accelerators has substantially contributed to the modern science. Technologies of particle accelerators are still advancing rapidly, and drive frontier of science and applied research. KEK has established its credit as one of the leading accelerator laboratories in the world, and is making substantial contributions to the basic sciences in the various fields. It serves as one of the inter-university research organizations to offer opportunities of fron- tier research to scientists and students in the Japanese universities, and contributes to progress of scientific research in Japan. More than 20,000 scientists visit KEK every year from abroad to carry out research program extensively at the accelerator facilities here. This provides extraordinary opportunity especially to young scientists to compete with each other internationally. Accomplishments of those international collaborations include: confirmation of Kobayashi-Maskawa theory, discoveries of many exotic compound par- ticles and clarification of neutrino oscillation. Remarkable achievements have been obtained in material and life science as well, such as structure determination of novel superconductors and protein-drug complexes, and studies of novel properties induced by hydro- gen atoms, spins and electrons in condensed matter.

PILE Brookhaven National Laboratory \' • •••• 0 d ••"••"v'i Building 91 IB r,. - Upton, New York 11973-5000, U.S.A. ^ » J ABSTRACT The Brookhaven National Laboratory AGS facility provides the intense kaon and pion beams necessary for detailed studies of the hyperon-nucleon interaction. A description of available beams is provided along with a summary °f me current and future physics program. 1. The BNL Facility for High Energy and Nuclear Physics 1.1 The Panicle Accelerators The Brookhaven National Laboratory High Energy and Nuclear Physics experimental programs are based on a 30 GeV Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS). Particles are injected into the AGS using a 1.5 GeV, 7.5 Hz Booster Synchrotron. All ion species from protons (including polarized protons) to gold can be accelerated; however, only protons and gold ions are currently in use. Injectors into the Booster include a 200 MeV proton Linac and two 15 MeV MP tandem accelerators for heavy tons. Toward the end of the decade beams from the AGS will be injected into the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The RHIC facility, currently under construction, will allow beam-beam collisions with energies up to 250 GeV/c x Z/A for each beam. Initial experiments with RHIC will search for the quark gluon plasma using 100 GeV/c/nucleon gold on gold--'") TeV in the center-of-mass. In addition to the heavy ion program at RHIC, programs are being developed that make use of proton-proton collisions, including polarized protons.

Yoshioka (NOP Collaboration) 1 Executive Summary We propose to measure the electric dipole moment (EDM) of ultracold neutrons (UCNs) with the experimental sensitivity of 6 £ 10¡28 e¢cm by constructing a UCN source driven by the pulsed proton beam at J-PARC. The sensitivity can be achieved by suppressing the systematic errors using downsized UCN storage volume. In order to improve the statistics in the smaller volume, we improve a time-focusing optics to transfer the instantaneously dense UCN, which can be obtained at a short-pulse spallation neutron source, to a remote place without losing the density. The proton beam of the J-PARC is almost ideal for this strategy. Please refer to the summary of the J-PARC UCN Taskforce [1] in which the availability of the proton beam and the candidates of the location were discussed in 2009. 2 Introduction Attempts to measure the electric dipole moment (EDM) of neutrons have played an important role in the search for the new physics beyond the standard model of the elementary particles. Discovery of a non-zero value of the EDM unambiguously signals the breaking of the time reversal invariance, which leads to a signi¯cant progress. The breaking of time reversal invariance is equivalent to the breaking of the CP symmetry assuming the CPT invariance in quantum ¯eld theory.

  • A Brief History and Review of Accelerators
    A BRIEF HISTORY AND REVIEW OF ACCELERATORS P.J. Bryant CERN, Geneva, Switzerland ABSTRACT The history of accelerators is traced from three separate roots, through a rapid development to the present day. The well-known Livingston chart is used to illustrate how spectacular this development has been with, on average, an increase of one and a half orders of magnitude in energy per decade, since the early thirties. Several present-day accelerators are reviewed along with plans and hopes for the future. 1 . INTRODUCTION High-energy physics research has always been the driving force behind the development of particle accelerators. They started life in physics research laboratories in glass envelopes sealed with varnish and putty with shining electrodes and frequent discharges, but they have long since outgrown this environment to become large-scale facilities offering services to large communities. Although the particle physics community is still the main group, they have been joined by others of whom the synchrotron light users are the largest and fastest growing. There is also an increasing interest in radiation therapy in the medical world and industry has been a long-time user of ion implantation and many other applications. Consequently accelerators now constitute a field of activity in their own right with professional physicists and engineers dedicated to their study, construction and operation. This paper will describe the early history of accelerators, review the important milestones in their development up to the present day and take a preview of future plans and hopes. 2 . HISTORICAL ROOTS The early history of accelerators can be traced from three separate roots.

The HAL collab- oration has shown no repulsive core but attractive potential at a short distance in the baryon-baryon interaction in the SUf (3) singlet state, namely H-dibaryon channel. They suggest the H-dibaryon may appear as a weakly bound state or a resonant state near the ΛΛ threshold. NPLQCD collaboration found the bound H-dibaryon in LQCD calculation without SUf (3) symmetry and also suggest the H-dibaryon around the threshold. We pro- pose to search for the H-dibaryon resonance in ΛΛ production from (K−;K+) reactions off nuclei and the bound H-dibaryon by its weak decays to answer the long-standing question about the existence of the H-dibaryon.

  • T2K Presents Hint of CP Violation by Neutrinos August 4, 2017 (Strict Press Embargo Until Aug 4, 2017 11:00 JST) Last Updated 02/08/2017 10:33 BST
    T2K presents hint of CP violation by neutrinos August 4, 2017 (strict press embargo until Aug 4, 2017 11:00 JST) last updated 02/08/2017 10:33 BST T2K Collaboration High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) Institute for Cosmic Ray Research (ICRR), University of Tokyo Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) Center The international T2K Collaboration strengthened its previous hint that the symmetry between matter and antimatter may be violated for neutrino oscillation. A preliminary analysis of T2K’s latest data rejects the hypothesis that neutrinos and antineutrinos oscillate with the same probability at 95% confidence (2σ) level. With nearly twice the neutrino data in 2017 compared to their 2016 results, T2K has performed a new analysis of neutrino and antineutrino data using a new event reconstruction algorithm for interactions in the far detector, Super-Kamiokande. Today’s announcement was made by Prof Mark Hartz, of the University of Tokyo Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Japan) and TRIUMF (Canada), who presented the results at a colloquium at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) in Tsukuba, Japan. (https://kds.kek.jp/indico/event/25337/) Why the universe is primarily comprised of matter today, instead of being comprised of equal parts matter and antimatter, is one of the most intriguing questions in all of science. One of the conditions required for the observed dominance of matter over antimatter to develop is the violation of Charge- Parity (CP) symmetry, which is the principle that the laws of physics should be the same if viewed upside-down in a mirror (Parity), with all matter exchanged with antimatter (Charge).
